Puppy Parenting Class (Baby Puppy)

This course is designed for puppies up to 6 months of age and will teach your puppy how to be well behaved and fit into your family environment. I genuinely think this is the most important training class you will ever attend if you get your dog at this young age.

During this early period, your puppy is like a sponge – it is learning and absorbing everything about it’s new environment. It will learn how to live in your human world. It doesn’t matter how many dogs you have (or have owned) each dog is an individual and will learn and grow differently. As with your children, each dog needs it’s own education.

The social learning around other dogs and people in different environments is as important as teaching good manners behaviours. Give your puppy the best possible chance by attending a Puppy Parenting Course as soon as your puppy arrives in your home.

Because my classes are run in a safe, disinfected environment, puppies are able to join class after their first vaccination. The first 20 – 24 weeks of a puppy’s life is an important developmental period and the earlier you start training and socialising appropriately the better for your pup.

On completion of the course your puppy will be able to do the following:

Respond to his/her name

Look at you when asked

Come when called – from a short distance initially

Sit when asked – for feeding, taking treats, meeting new people

Lay quietly on a mat

Drop (lay down)

Stay when asked for a short period

Learn to accept a collar and lead and start walking beside you

Leave and exchange items when asked

Behave nicely around other dogs

Toilet in suitable areas

Stop biting when asked

Learn a cool trick (at least one!)

On completion of the course, you – as the puppy parent – will have the following knowledge:

A greater understanding of how your puppy thinks and learns

How to respond to normal doggy behaviours like digging, barking, chewing, jumping up

What training tools will help with your individual puppy

Puppy health and feeding requirements

Dog Laws and how they affect you as a dog guardian

Your responsibilities as a dog guardian

How to prevent boredom behaviours and provide suitable alternatives
